Compass Community Services is a charitable organization based in Guelph, Ontario, classified by the CRA under core health care. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $2.9M in revenue and $2.9M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 62% from government, 28% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 4 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $177K.
Compared with 717 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 65% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 81% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $80,000–119,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 23 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
